Automated border control systems

Singapore citizens aged 6 and older are eligible to use the automated clearance lanes at the ICA Checkpoints run by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority, provided that their biometric identifiers (iris / facial / fingerprints) have been enrolled with ICA. In addition, for young Singapore citizens who wish to use the automated lanes but had collected their passports before turning six, they may enrol their biometrics at the staffed immigration counters (with the supervision of their parent/guardian).

In addition, Singapore citizens who intend to travel as tourists, are eligible to use the automated border control systems (eGates) when arriving in (or departing from) the following countries:

<sub>* - Automated system enrollment eligibility is limited only to certain categories of travellers.</sub><br /> <sub>1 - First-time visitors are required to enrol on their first visit and can only use the automated gates on their subsequent visits.</sub><br /> <sub>2 - Use of the E-Gates is only valid when departing from the country and when the traveller is aged 16 & above.</sub>
